If you send @armyadarkness some photos of her I’m sure she could be featured elsewhere as well!?!?? :0
Too far?
The way he tells it he had a whole album full before I even met her.
Bwahahahhah. He’s Got many a story doesn’t he
It’s a good thing his groats can’t speak
Oh how I'm sad now. I had one of those, one of the best playing basses I have owned. That's another one I wish I could get back.

We've all been their brother.
To be honest my L2500 replaced one like below which I foolishly sold about 17 years ago. As much as I like that G&L I would take my old Modulus back in a NY minute should I ever find one like it again.
Yeah I sometimes I miss my jazzes but not as much as I thought I would. Surprisingly.
L-2000s are just that good.
In my part of the world the G&L brand is a rare find. I was lucky enough to find mine since it was the only one anywhere available in my city. I can never imagine what my bass playing life would be without it. I now have 4 perfectly gig worthy basses that just collect dust. My L-2500 is just that good
I would like to outfit a Jazz with two MFD's. Having just said that its probably a good time that I seek out a fresh pair of undershorts. I think I just experienced that turtle thing @fcleff mentioned earlier.
That's pretty much what an L2000 is isn't it?
There’s a grain of truth there.
Legend has it, there's a super secret "G&L Smoked Meat Pole Chicken Head Club", coming to a cornfield near you...
... As Soon As Thanksgiving (ASAT). In addition to that mind blowing idea, contributions for a worthy cobs, can be made out to Kernel Klink, via Certified Check.

Very nice. I had the same bass, just in blue-burst. Got it in a trade with every intention to flip it, but as soon as I played it, had to keep it. Eventually sold it but it was my main player for a while. Still kinda miss it!
Thanks brother.
I was tracking a couple of Blueburst models when mine showed up on Reverb. I hadn't seen many Tobacco Bursts with a maple board and it also came with a hardcase so I jumped on it quickly.
After having played my PBass which has flats so often apparently my technique had gotten a little sloppy so as soon as I began playing the L2500 which has rounds I had fret clank like an old boiler about to blow.
Nothing like a 5 string to remind you to get off your lazy arse. 
Good self teaching moment.
In my understanding other than the tuners the only other major differences between a Tribute L Series and a US made are the bridge saddles and the preamp and both can be purchased from G&L for about $50 each.
So my question is have any of you other Tribute L Series guys done any upgrades of those and if so was there any noticeable difference tonally?
I'm also not counting specs, and finish selection which I know are much broader on a US made.
